Sustainability in figures

We want to assess the effectiveness of our measures and projects. To measure our progress, we collect key data around business operations, societal developments and the environment. Standardised indicators on the environment, social engagement and governance (Environment, Social and Governance – ESG) in particular are increasingly in demand on capital markets. This is why we have been presenting our key indicators in conformity with the ESG convention for a number of years.

If, as an analyst or investor, you have any questions, please contact us directly. Our Investor Relations Team will be happy to help.

Investor Relations

Furthermore, since 2010 we have reported our indicators in line with standards defined by the German Association for Financial Analysis and Asset Management (German: Deutsche Vereinigung für Finanzanalysten – DVFA) and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies (EFFAS). These core non-financial indicators are valid across Europe and also include sector-specific criteria.

We have marked the key figures that serve to meet the standard with the corresponding identification – the DVFA/EFFAS-ID.

Further information on the key figures – for example, more detailed breakdowns – can be found in our sustainability report.
